One of our best carpool karaoke videos, earning over 11 million views. This was a challenging edit, requiring complex color correction and lots of hidden cuts. The result is an engrossing, emotional video featuring palpable chemistry between Cheryl Porter and powerhouse AGT singer Angelica Hale. Also one of my best YouTube thumbnails.
Basement aquarium tour I shot for a popular aquatics YouTuber. Run & gun with a shotgun mic and no lighting. Shot on Panasonic GH5.
One of my first assignments with Cheryl Porter Vocal Coach; I documented her journey to LA to go on the final season of The Ellen Show. January 2022. Shot on iPhone.
An editing rescue mission, I picked up a half-completed project. I contributed additional editing, re-cut the montage scenes, & delivered a finished advertisement that entertains and sells.
Fun fact: pulling the green screen for this produced a 450GB ProRes file. Sourcing the background assets was a huge but rewarding undertaking. My masterclass in subliminal visual communication. Edit & GFX were my work.
Talking head YouTube video I shot for my LEGO channel. I like the way the composition turned out (and the thumbnail)
Cheryl Porter X Kaycee Wonderland X Wicked collaboration!
Classic YouTube reaction video, featuring the granddaughter of Aretha Franklin. Edited 2022. Green screen, tracking movement across jump cuts, & constant repositioning of the picture-in-picture to stay out of the way.
As a Post PA I filled in as an editor for this small news piece on the 2020 NBA Bubble.
Reaction compilation of live streamers reacting to the Halo: Infinite reveal in December 2021. Produced for Paradise Halo community YouTube channel. I acted as Producer & Editor, pulling clips & striking the balance between providing various POVs of key moments while keeping the pace lively.
Teaser trailer made in 2021, gameplay capture & edit by DG.
Cinematic trailer for video game showcase. I’ve since sold this car and my family home has burned to the ground, so it’s an emotional video with great ambiance, and I will always return to it.
I did green screening, editing, text animation, & a thumbnail for this evergreen vocal exercise video.
There are two ways to make a hit YouTube video. You can make a top-tier video with hypnotic flow and amazing retention, or you can make an average, perfectly serviceable video that is the first in a niche with high audience demand. I wrote, recorded, & edited this time-sensitive video with visual language in mind, and the impact on referrals was huge.
